Have a great idea? Why aren’t you already on it? Great
entrepreneurs don’t catch lightning in a bottle and leave it on
the table.

If I’m going to partner with you, I want to see you roll --
now. Don’t tell me you’re waiting for a helicopter to drop your
cash infusion before you shut off your Xbox. Get started
now:

1. Take your brain off a cliff. Mind map a
killer idea as soon as it arrives, in your own way. Imagine it
quickly. Doing this will help you tap energy that gets you
excited about completing it. Put it on paper to see how much cash
you will lose by not being in the fight.

2. Incite your fire. Are you compulsive about
staying in first place? Vaporizing a pile of debt? The more you
grok what moves you to action, the easier
to tap into it to form a plan that compels you.

3. Back into it. If you’re creating a new
product, list the steps it will take you to realize it in
reverse order, until you hit the one you need to assault today.
Working this way ensures control over your mission, so you stay
wired.

4. Game your emotions. Cut up your goal
into micro steps. Reward yourself when you blast through
each one. Tell yourself, "I am moving one step closer to my
goal and getting excited about it." Go further and form a
negative association for not doing it.

For example, I have a buddy who runs a multimillion dollar sales
organization. His garden is his way of getting peace. He stays
away from planting until he hits certain goals, and when he is
really successful he flies himself to Maui for a week to watch
the sunsets and recharge his passion.

5. Give it 48. If you haven’t put an idea
in motion in 48 hours, it’s dead. You’re not interested. Scrap it
and move onto something that ignites you.
